THINK PINK RADIO #8 – TAYLOR MAC

October 8, 2008


* Official Music video for “Another World” by Antony & The Johnsons

TPR is very happy to be able to present to you an interview with Taylor Mac , whose “The Young Ladies of…” is having a successful run at the Center On Halsted. Ruth and Erik had a double date and went to see the show, after wards going to dinner across the street at Jitlada (a wonderful Thai restaurant across the street). The four of us chatted about rice, e-vites, muffins and Taylor’s show. If you are a fan of edgy but accessible art, Taylor Mac is not to be missed. TPR #8 features the songs “Where Do You Run To” by Vivian Girls and “Another World” by Antony & the Johnsons.

“The Young Ladies of…”
When: Through Oct. 26
Where: About Face Theatre at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted

Taylor Mac Got Rave Reviews

October 5, 2008

Photobucket

The Chicago Tribune liked it, the Sun-Times liked it too. Now hear what TPR has to say about it.

I was actually a little gay-shamed about not knowing who Taylor Mac was. I mean, TPR has dedicated its 5 year existence to knowing about the queers, you know? And then here comes good ol’ About Face Theatre, kicking off its first season (with new Artistic Director Bonnie Metzgar) with Taylor Mac, an established performance artist based in NYC. I’ve been lucky enough to catch Deena Martina in Seattle, and Justin Bond a few times. So it was a little surprising and highly alleviating when Taylor Mac, with his scary make-up and gorgeous set was wholly different yet on the same artistic and boundary pushing level. Read the full review after the jump and listen for an interview with Taylor Mac on next week’s podcast.

When: Through Oct. 26
